This 62.35 m lighthouse, located on the site of the former semaphore at Cap d'Alprech, is the highest in the Pas-de-Calais region.

Situated on the site of the former semaphore of the Cap d'Alprech, this lighthouse culminates at the highest altitude (62.35 metres above sea level) of all the lighthouses in the Pas-de-Calais. The old semaphore buildings were restored and, at the beginning of November 1830, a lighthouse with a fixed white catoptric light was put into service. It is equipped with an electric lamp lighting (3,000 candle power) supplemented by a petroleum vapour lamp of similar intensity. It was gradually modernized and it was in 1962 that the lighthouse finally took its present form.

belle vue
Ne serait ce que le chemin y menant est de toute beauté vous serez en surplomb de la côte et vous pourrez peut être y voir le mouvement des bateaux de pêche et passagers se rendant au port de Boulogne non loin de là. A cet endroit vous pourrez y réaliser de belles photos tout dépendra du temps que vous aurez.

Phare de la pointe d'Alprech et sentier des douaniers
Pour prendre un peu de hauteur et profiter de belles vues sur la mer, rien de tel que de rallier au bout de la rue du cap au Portel le sentier des douaniers nouvellement restauré et qui permet d'atteindre par un chemin sécurisé en bord de falaise le phare d'Alprech. Cette petite balade régénératrice permet de découvrir ou redécouvrir les beaux paysages du bord de mer et profiter des couleurs opales de la Manche. Arrivé au phare, celui-ci vaut le détour rien que pour son escalier métallique extérieur qui est très hétéroclite. De plus, à cette pointe par beau temps, de magnifiques vues sur les falaises et la mer rend ce site inoubliable surtout quand les vieux gréements de la Fête de la mer de Boulogne sont de sortie.
